BALANCE DUE 30th September **CoolingMist Water/Methanol/Alcohol Injection**

I know with the Snow Performance kits they have a safety kill where if the pump stops pumping or a bubble gets caught in the line, it will turn off the boost controller and run off wastegate pressure. I believe this feature might also be through a standalone engine management system like AEM, Hydra, etc.

I wouldn't run methanol without a safety switch/kill/bright LED due to the simple fact that if the pump does stop working, or a bubble is caught in the line, or you're not getting the full pressure necessary... your engine is as good as gone.

Methanol also tends to eventually corrode Iron over a long period of time with heavy useage which someone with an Iron Ductile sleeve may want to take into consideration when using methanol.

Don't get me wrong, there's tons of cheap power to be made using methanol and water injection... just make sure you do your research before throwing something on your car. At the very least, rewire the kit with a bright LED to go off if the pump fails or there's a hiccup with the unit.

The Snow performance Safe Injection system works just fine with the CM kits... people do it all the time. You get the benefits of the more capable CM controller and components, along with the peace of mind of the Safe Injection.

CM does directly offer a Status Monitor/clogged nozzle detector... which will alert you if your NZ is clogged, and shows when the system is spraying or not spraying. Its usually a $50 add on, I'll have to see what we could GB it for. It includes an LED to show you the system status.

Float switches + LED are also an option to alert you when your tank is running low.


For people running straight water... the safety systems are less critical, since you usually don't tune to the edge if you're just pumping water. If you're running meth and using it to bump up the boost or adv the timing, it's recommended you build in some safegaurds.
